This need was not met because the CEO/Owner of the company was unknown, and did not visit the stores that she was working at.

A manager can help satisfy these needs by allowing social interaction and by making employees feel like part of a team or work group.”(Textbook page 452)

Fourth, it assumes that people make choices from among alternative plans of behavior, based on their perceptions of the extent to which a given behavior will lead to desired outcomes.” (Textbook page 455).

By doing this, their hard work helps them earn shares of ownership in the company.

Other hygiene factors that they are using are pay and security, and the working conditions are
